Monochrome Munch

Here is an image of a Carolina chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) that I saw in forest behind my home. It was pretty dark among the trees and the chickadee was too far away for a detailed closeup. I like the image anyway and thought maybe displaying it in black and white/selective color would make it more interesting. I think a gold frame will set it off.

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:

https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

CBS News has chosen to be a cowardly entertainment company, not a journalism organization, in its cavalier decision not to do any fact-checking in the VP debate next week.

This is an invitation for Vance -- as prolific a liar as Trump -- to flood the zone with bullshit. There's not enough time in a day, much less 90 minutes, for Walz to refute the lies and make his own points.

CBS knows this, and put its thumb on the scale anyway.

Branch Out Look

This is a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) that I saw in the forest.

I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut.

Birdwatch: A Colorful Encounter

There are three house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) in this photograph. It caught my eye because I like the way the sky peeks through the forest canopy behind the birds.

As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at:

https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com

Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers 😄

If both my wife and I were archaeologists who used Carbon 14 decay measures to determine the era in which ancient individuals lived, you bet your ass I’d loudly say “WE DATE OTHER PEOPLE” at parties.

Branch-bound Hunter

Here is a red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus)

"Whether wheeling over a swamp forest or whistling plaintively from a riverine park, a Red-shouldered Hawk is typically a sign of tall woods and water. It’s one of our most distinctively marked common hawks, with barred reddish-peachy underparts and a strongly banded tail. In flight, translucent crescents near the wingtips help to identify the species at a distance. These forest hawks hunt prey ranging from mice to frogs and snakes." - allaboutbirds.org

Good lord, Ben got me up again at 0430 this morning. This is what? the third morning in a row. Unfortunately, I think this is the current trend. He comes to the bedroom door and just starts barking. He likes to sleep under our bed at night, but I recently started making him sleep in his bed in the family room because he was disturbing my wife's sleep during the night. She isn't gifted with bad hearing like me. Hmmm ... for every action there is a reaction.

We are having a pergola build in our back yard, construction starts this morning some time. Last night, I was thinking about the pigeons and whether or not they will defile the pergola. Wait and see.

I'm Just a Lonely Bird

Don't ask me why, but for some reason I like this image. It is mostly a silhouette with a northern cardinal center stage offering a hint of color in a pine tree.

I think he’s onto something . . .

Democrats don't want Donald Trump dead.

We want him alive, massively shamed by a landslide loss in November, legally tried and imprisoned, and to live long enough to see his wealth and reputation destroyed before dying a natural death.

Good morning. 🍄🍄🍄

Back in the 70s while the infantry company I was assigned to was at the training area in Baumholder, Germany. I was put into an M60A1 tank. It was the first and only time I'd been in a tank. I think I was a buck sergeant, but I may have been a staff sergeant by then, I'm not sure. The tank and crew were going through a live fire range, and I was in charge of safety. Quite remarkable actually because I didn't have a clue. Having a safety officer in the tank was a requirement. The only thing I could tell them was to keep their gun pointed down range. It occurs to me that if something would have gone wrong, there would be a fall guy. But all's well that ends well.
